A lone voice in the desert against the abuse hysteria of the 1980s. One of the few shrinks willing to testify for the defense and believe the children when they claimed they loved their abuse and abuser. He was ruthlessly character assassinated for it and ostracized from the Mental Health Industrial Complex. Despite his many contributions to child psychology and his discovery and definition of the Parental Alienation Syndrome--or maybe because of them too. He is also, despite his non-science background, the only one to posit a viable general theory of paraphilia in the context of evolution. He also had a theory of pedophilia in evolutionary context which I also think is the only to explain its advantages at individual (rather than population or species) level.

Shamefully he died forgotten. A few years ago he administered euthanasia on himself (he was old and had a debilitating and incurable disease.)

The treatment he received (as well as the treatment his research received despite it being no inferior to anything that is on the DSM and indeed better than most of it) is one the things that most convince me of the rot inside the Mental Health Industrial Complex and the impossibility of salvaging it.
